🚽 URIC SCALE – THE HIDDEN PROBLEM IN YOUR DRAINAGE SYSTEM!
Did you know that uric scale can gradually build up inside drainage pipes, particularly in systems carrying waste from urinals?
Over time, mineral deposits from urine form a hard, concrete-like coating on the inside of pipework. This can:
🔹 Restrict the flow of wastewater.
🔹 Cause recurring blockages.
🔹 Trap debris and create unpleasant odours.
🔹 Eventually lead to completely obstructed pipework.
The tricky part? It often builds up gradually and can go unnoticed until a blockage occurs.
Usually it's made worse by not flushing the toilet consistently or poor flow.
Below you can see the extent of the issue in just a short run of pipework which left a whole block of flats sewage coming up from ground floors bath!
Eventually, using chain flails high pressure water jetting and cctv surveying, we got the pipe back to full capacity, removing a whole bucket full of scale from just 5 meters of 4 inch pipe.
